THE FOUNDING OF SOLIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

 

In 1992, the municipality of Bulan has no single Computer School. Driven by the desire to help th youth to learn the basic of computer, Hon. Jose solis set up five (5) PC's at his residence. Surprisingly, parents of the newly high school graduates requested that the set up be formalized. The school before was named Datamaters Incorporated Computer School (DICS) which offers short-term courses such as the following: Computer System, WordStar Version 4, Lotus 123, Quattro Pro, Graphics using New Master, File Management using d'Base III, File Management using d' Base III+, Spreadsheet using symphony and Computer Typing Basic. At that time, the operation of the school was informal in nature; it has a mission that was unwritten which guided the operation of the institutuion. This mission was to help the youth especially the high school graduates of the municipality to attain quality and affordable education.

 

In 1994, the school was granted permission to operate the One-Year Computer Secretarial and Six Months Computer Programming with Government Permit No. TVEP - 29. This was the supervision of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports. In 1996, the said programs were given Governmen Recognition No. 15 Series of 1996.

 

This development was prompted by the demands of the community for a computer school that will cater to the manpower needs of the clientele. It was in 1998 that the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority approved the permit to additional Computer Courses such as: Two-Year Computer Programming, Two-Year Computer Technician, and One-Year Data Encoding. Consequently, the school was concerted into a Non-Sectarian and was named Solis Institute of Technology. It has one ultimate objective, that is the provide education that will help individuals attain a fuller realzation of their potentials.

 

In 2000, additional four year courses like Bachelor of Science in Business Administration major in Legal Management, Bachelor of Elementary and Secondary Education and Bachelor of Science in Criminology were offered. These courses were opened in response to the needs and demands of the community. It was then that another building was made which has the School Library, Registrar's Office, Multi-Media Room, Dean's Office and other Laboratory Rooms intended for the college of criminology.

 

In 2005, the school offered Preparatory, it has three (3) rooms which are all fully air-conditioned and situated at the old building.
